I really loathe writing this article because there are millions of posts on SEO and that horse is definitely dead already! But I have to write this post so that you can make a good, informed decision regarding Search Engine Optimization in Albuquerque. This is a follow-up to our previous post on Albuquerque...
Let's face it, the general consensus now is that if a business does not have a website, then the general consumer does not consider them a legitimate business. Even if you do not agree with that statement, there is nothing that can ignore the fact that if a business does not have a website, they...
We are pretty sure we finally have all the bugs worked out from ABQ Find's recent move to a cloud-based server. We were doing fairly well with our old service, but with our increased growth (we had over 2500 unique visits in December 2011!) it was time to get something that allowed us more flexibility...
It's been a little hectic for lots of reasons around here. Some of it personal, some of it business. As such, there hasn't been much posting here lately. I am scrapping my last post idea of locally-sourced foods as I could get no cooperation from locally-owned grocery stores and/or co-ops. I...

As of this Monday, we opened up the ABQ Find Customer Localty Program for limited enrollment. I am very excited about this venture as it will create a mutually-beneficial relationship between customers and locally owned businesses where both parties win. And win big, they do! With our unique application...
I need some advice. I have a series of designs that were created to shorten the message for ABQ Find. As those of you who follow me know, ABQ Find has very stringent rules on what businesses it promotes. No other advertising company or service organization has the local focus that we do. As such, we...
When speaking with local business owners about ABQ Find, how the major search engines work comes up A LOT!!! There are thousands of consumers out there who want to buy from a locally-owned business in Albuquerque or Rio Rancho, but it's so hard to tell which ones are actually locally-owned and not...
It's been a while since I wrote a post. And I've been mulling over writing this one for a while. I go to networking events from time to time sponsored by the Hispano Chamber of Commerce and talk up ABQ Find as much as I can. Most people are very supportive and I can sense the excitement they...
